Residents of Buula Burde in the Hiraan region of Somalia welcome AMISOM soldiers into the town on March 14, a day after it was captured by the African Union from Al Shabaab. Buula Burde marks the sixth town captured this month by the African Union, in joint operations with the Somali National Army. Buula Burde served as a strategic center to Al Shabaab, who used the town as a base for hundeds of their militants and as a supply center. AU UN IST PHOTO / Ilyas A. Abukar
